French President Macron shows improvement after COVID-19 diagnosis

French President Emmanuel Macron's health is showing signs of improvement after he tested positive for COVID-19 on December 17, his office said on Wednesday.

Macron has been self-isolating at Versailles, and BFM TV this week broadcast live images of him chairing a government ministerial meeting via an audiovisual link.

He has said that although he will be working at a slower pace as he recovers, he will continue to tackle top-priority issues such as France's response to the COVID pandemic and Brexit.
